Orange County District Attorney
A 20-year-old California woman is in custody after allegedly fatally running over a man who she believed threatened to harm a cat.
Hannah Star Esser is accused of showing “a complete disregard for human life” in the death of Luis Anthony Victor, 43, after she believed he was “trying to run over a cat in the street,” according to Law & Crime.
Police found the man dead in the street, from apparent injuries suffered when Esser’s car allegedly struck him. Esser recorded herself confronting Victor around 8:3o p.m.—in what police call a “profanity-laced” rant. She accused him of threatening the feline, according to the video sequestered from her phone.
